None of the Isle of Man Steam Packet vessels are in port. Currently [2024] the King Edward pier is being upgraded, at least partially to cope with the "Manxman", with addition of two new steel "dolphins", three new mooring bollards and other improvements. www.gov.im/categories/travel-traffic-and-motoring/harbours/king-edward-viii-pier-upgrade-project Note also - among other features - i) the RNLI boathouse, which currently [2024] contains a slipway-launched Mersey class ALB. [ON1191, the "Joy and Charles Beeby" 12-32, which was previously at Berwick-upon-Tweed, listed in the LB enthusiasts' society handbook as "relief 2023-" ] and ii) the oil / gas terminal not my image : fair use & public information

Quite a crowd of people have come to watch the new IoMSP ferry "Manxman" as she berths on the Edward VIII pier in Douglas Harbour, July 2023. She is carrying Captain Stephen Carter, the senior pilot for Douglas, in his last official engagement before retirement. . The little vessel with red funnel is the tug from the "Laxey Towing Co." and owned by Captain Stephen Carter. . Not my Image : fair use & public information

The linkspan berths are all empty as none of the ferries are at Douglas. No idea where Mannanan and the Manxman are at this time. I presume the former is somewhere between Douglas and Liverpool, but Manxman was in Douglas earlier in the day ... Ben-my-Chree will arrive shortly.

A small image of the Isle of Man Steam Packet's two ferries. The nearer one is the MS "Ben-my-Chree" manx for "Woman of my Heart" [in service - 1998] and the one further away is the HSC "Manannan" in Douglas Harbour. . {from the water movements around her bow, Ben-my-Chree, is either arriving or just leaving - Not my Image : Fair Use & public information}
